...sorry to say that the quickest response to these events came not from administrators but from students. Several undergraduates formed the Harvard Alliance for Safety Training and Education (H.A.S.T.E.), which has already sponsored events such as the "Take Back the River" run and a "Model Mugging" seminar. In addition, H.A.S.T.E. convinced the Undergraduate Council to sponsor the Rape Aggression Defense (RAD) System, making a course that once cost $20 free for all undergraduate women...
...they go to all this trouble to discredit him? Why worry themselves about something they say is of little importance? Could it be that they want to make a name for themselves as being wise or they wish to be free of any responsibility to obey God? The quickest way is to pretend he doesn't exist.

At the time, he estimated the guns' value at about $300,000 and kept them locked inside...
...quickest fix--though it is one most parents hate--would be to bus pupils across district lines, which the Supreme Court has limited except in cases of deliberate discrimination. But for now Hartford's students remain trapped in pockets of poverty, where no amount of money or reforms can overcome the obstacles to achievement. Nevertheless, Hartford city councilwoman Elizabeth Horton Sheff, whose son Milo gave his name to the school case when he was in the fourth grade, has been gratified by the response to the court's ruling.
